In my husband's ancestry is a surname of Bach, or Bajtz, or Bock, or Buch - lots of different spellings. Emilie was born there about 1851, and traveled with her family to the US, ending up in Chicago where she married Henry Hasselbrink in 1875. Her parents may have been Johann and Justine and siblings may have been Caroline, Ernestine, Sophia, Gottlieb, Wilhelmine, Augusta, Wilhelm and August.2016-06-29 22:51:02ZDebbieCraig1952http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.ceeurope.histreg.westprussia/1028/mb.ashxDead End: Polzin &amp; Mikolay Families from Tütz and Flathe, Kr.

I am seeking any and all information, research suggestions, or possible relatives of the family<br>noted below, namely the Polzin and Mikolay/Micholeÿ family from Tütz. My information is <br>based upon the following letter from Tütz in 1894 from a Ms. Martine Polzin to her niece in America: [Martina is presumably the sister of Josephine (Polzin) Rypczynski who was born in 1824.]<br><br>Dear Niece, <br> <br>since you wanted to know how we are doing, I share with you that all is well here. Maria has/was married, as well as Ursula, to two citizens in Tütz and Antonia was recently married to a Brenner (?) not far from Posen. For seven years now, I have been healthy and able to leave my bed; and I now live with Maria. <br><br>Stanislaus Rosanski has turned things over to his son. Kasimir has purchased a Gut/farm near Gnesen.<br><br>Tütz grows from year to year, a brewery, a two-story cloister and the train now travels through Tütz.<br><br>Our dear Propst (pastor) Alkiewicz has died, and we now have a new gentleman. <br><br>Greetings from your Aunt, <br>Martine [Polzin]<br><br>PS Heartfelt greetings too from your cousin, Mathilde Micholeÿ<br><br>With the above information, I suspect the family I am looking for is the Florian &amp; Anna (Clericus/Klerix) Polzin family of Flathe:<br><br>Florian Polzin, Freischulz zu Flathe, Sohn d. + Freischulz Franz Polzin a.

The above information comes from Joachim Schulz’s wonderful homepage “Back to the Roots – Deutsch Krone”. I don’t believe the Standesamt records for Tütz exist (?) nor do the church records from 1860 – 1945.

Ich suche Info, Forschungstipps oder Anverwandte folgender Familie Polzin und Mikolay/Micholeÿ aus Tütz. Mein Info ist basiert auf folgendem Brief aus Tütz in 1894 von Frl.

My family marriage, baptism , and death records are from Polish Kamie Krajenski which was Germany Kamin or Cammin. They all follow under the German Baptisms. There were also family members in Polish Chojnice which was German Konitz. Well they were relatively close to each other. Their name had variations such as Klemunt, klemund, and Klemundt.

Thank you for the website suggestion. I found a site yesterday with some photos of the place that were interesting to see.

Use Kartenmeister. Sichts is known today as Zychce, 2.1km, 336 degrees from Konorzyny (formerly Gross Konarczyn), Polish Province of Pomorskie. I would suggest that the spelling of Frese to Frase and finally to Fraza (a as in aid) would have come about purely because Frese is pronounced exactly like "Fraza" - they probably got tired of telling people that their name was Frese and seeing it written as Fraza because that is what the English speakers heard. Hope this is of some use.2015-05-04 21:34:52Zhalparkhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.ceeurope.histreg.westprussia/1024.1/mb.ashxSichts, Schlochau, West Prussia - Fresehttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.ceeurope.histreg.westprussia/1024/mb.ashx
It's a long shot... but I figured making a post is better than not!<br>My great-grandparents come from a place that was once called Sichts in Schlochau, West Prussia (Pommerania I believe). They were called Frese (also seen spelled Frase and anglicized by part of the family to Fraza upon settling in Illinois at the turn of the 20th century). Has anyone had experience with this region that might be helpful? It was a blip on the map and appears to have been lost over time and political changes in the country.<br><br>Thanks<br>--Amber2015-05-04 04:11:07Zjnasaladinohttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.ceeurope.histreg.westprussia/1024/mb.ashxRe: Klawikowski-Klavikofskihttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.ceeurope.histreg.westprussia/39.1.2/mb.ashx
